Summary:

Alternatively, older workers may be eligible for ATAA, which pays 50% of the difference between the wages received at the time of separation and the wages received from reemployment. CRS-3 TAA and ATAA Reauthorization Issues in the 110th Congress Since the previous TAA reauthorization (the Trade Act of 2002, P. L. 107-210), Congress has considered a number of issues, discussed below, that have arisen in the context of TAA and ATAA reauthorization. Training Funding Allocations The Department of Labor allocates 75% of the annual 220 million of training funds available to states on the basis of a state's accrued training expenditures and the number of training participants over the previous two and one-half years. The higher a state's level of prior years' accrued expenditures and number of training participants, the higher the following year's initial allocation of the state's training funds. P. L. 110- 161 (discussed in the "TAA and ATAA Legislation in the 110th Congress" section of this report) prohibits the Department of Labor from finalizing this regulation.
